Favorite farm life sayings

I would holler up to the kids on Saturday morning "OK guys! Time to roll out! Daylight in the swamp! If that didnt work Id use my auction PA and say it again. Id tell them we had alotta work to do and when theyd ask "like what?" Id rattle off a dozen things in rapid fire being sure to throw in a few like "rake the driveway and oil the buggy harness". We had 6 kids and they needed something to keep them occupied.

"I don't care if you talk just keep your hands working..."

"Wish I had that and he had a pencil in his butt..."

"She was a shy girl but all-the-horsemen-knew-her"
